Failure #3 (sort of): Brooks Robinson

Could it be? Two failures on one day? Yep, on the same day that I received the return from Rollie Fingers, I also received this letter.

While this wasn't quite as frustrating as Mazeroski's return to sender, it was rejection never-the-less. Brooks Robinson included a kind letter saying that because of technology, more people have his address than ever before. He apologized and pointed me to his website if I would like to purchase an autograph.

It did soften the failure a little bit to receive a Brooks Robinson postcard, but alas, it was not signed - not even with a printed signature.

I have created this blog to document my quest to obtain an autograph from any inducted member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Most autograph requests will be sent by mail. If you have any questions or comments, please send them my way!

It can take time to hear back from Hall of Fame ballplayers, so this blog will also be used to showcase other baseball autographs in my collection.
